It is a very good lens with somewhat sluggish focusing, though firmware 
updates have speeded it up a fair bit.

A flood of friends and cousins visiting here in the last month from all over 
the place has meant that my single malt stocks has been replenished a fair 
deal - Lagavulin 16, Lagavulin 1995 DE, Macallan Cask Strength, Balvenie 
"Golden Cask"14, Nikka Yoichi 15 (fast becoming one of my favourites), Nikka 
Miyagikyo 15, Nikka Coffey Malt 12, Ardbeg 10, Amrut Fusion and Amrut 
Peated. The last two are single malts made in Bangalore and very highly 
recommended, superb stuff and comparatively inexpensive to boot. A variety 
to suit any palate, and a  good time to visit...(-:

Cheers
